You know, I don't know why
anyone becomes a doctor or a nurse.

1:27:06
All that responsibility.
1:27:09
Well, you know, Mrs Dalton,
I've often wondered that myself.

1:27:13
There are easier ways
to earn a living.

1:27:16
It's not for the glamour
and it's certainly not for the money.

1:27:21
No, I think it's because
they feel that...

1:27:24
the most precious thing
we have on this earth is life,

1:27:29
and nothing's more important than to
help people get their full share.

1:27:34
- That's why you became a doctor?
- Who, me? I'd like to think so.

1:27:39
As a matter of fact,
I wanted to be a surgeon,

1:27:42
but I don't think I ever shall now.
1:27:45
So I've just got to be good
as a different sort of doctor.

1:27:48
- A cup of tea?
- 0h, yes.

1:27:50
I'll go ask Harry to put some on.
1:27:53
I'd have thought it would be more
interesting to research rarer things,

1:27:57
like, oh, I don't know...
elephants, for instance.

1:28:02
You sometimes get a white elephant,
don't you? Why?

1:28:05
That's a point.
1:28:07
How would one get information
on elephant diet and... practices?

1:28:12
From a zoo, I imagine, or a circus.
I expect they keep records.

1:28:16
Would you like me
to find out for you?

1:28:19
Would you?
As you can see, I'm pretty busy.

1:28:22
- Yes, all right.
- Good girl.

1:28:24
Ask for all they've got on elephants.
1:28:27
All they've got on elephants. Yes.
1:28:29
Mention Sir Lancelot.
That'll impress them.

1:28:34
Elephants.
1:28:38
I want a report on that gastrectomy.
I'm not quite satisfied with it.

1:28:43
- Yes, sir.
- No lack of punctuality. Well?

1:28:46
Excuse me, guv'nor. Where can I find
a bloke called Spratt?

1:28:51
I am a bloke called Spratt.
1:28:54
- I've got something for you, sir.
- What?

1:28:57
Come on the instructions
of a gent called Bingham, for you.
